  • ROOFING MEMBRANE WITH RELEASE LINER HAVING ENHANCED FRICTION CHARACTERISTICS
    Publication number: 20200270866
    Abstract: A roofing membrane includes a waterproofing layer, and a release liner removably attached to the waterproofing membrane. The release liner has a coefficient of friction greater than the coefficient of friction of the material of the waterproofing membrane. The release liner is preferably left in place after initial installation of the roofing membrane on a roof, and removed near the end of construction, so that the waterproofing membrane is at least partially protected from damage and dirt during later parts of the construction.

  • Sheet roofing with pre-taped seams and tape therefor
    Patent number: 10233646
    Abstract: According to one aspect, a roof membrane is provided. The roofing membrane includes a main body, a first adhesive material, and a second adhesive material. The first adhesive material is bonded to a top surface of the main body and positioned toward a first edge thereof. The second adhesive material is bonded to the top surface of the main body and positioned toward a second edge thereof. The second edge is positioned opposite the first edge such that the first and second adhesive materials are positioned toward opposite edges of the main body and the same surface thereof.

  • Roofing membranes having multiple adhesive regions and method therefor
    Patent number: 10041255
    Abstract: A roofing membrane may include a main body, a first material, and a second material. The first material may be bonded to the main body and positioned toward a first edge thereof. The second material may be bonded to the main body and positioned toward a second edge thereof. The second edge may be positioned opposite the first edge such that the first and second materials are positioned toward opposite edges of the main body. At least one of the first material or the second material may include a first reactive material of a chemically reactive two-part cure system that is configured to chemically react upon contact of the first reactive material with a second reactive material of the chemically reactive two-part cure system.
